About Bourama

Embedded Software Engineer specialized in critical systems for the automotive and regulated industries. With over 4 years of experience, I design, develop, and deliver robust, safe, and cyber-secure embedded software, compliant with the highest quality and certification requirements. Expert in the complete V-model cycle, I master all phases: software architecture, development, integration, validation, and certification support. I combine in-depth technical expertise with strong project management skills (leadership, risk management, team coordination, and client delivery).
Areas of excellence:

Functional Safety – ISO 26262 (ASIL B to D)
Embedded Cybersecurity – ISO/SAE 21434 & Secure Boot
AUTOSAR – Integration, configuration, and development
Secure Bootloader Development
Embedded Software Architecture
Bare-Metal & RTOS Development
Security analysis, implementation of safety & security mechanisms
Advanced debugging, optimization, and diagnostics improvement
Integration, validation, and verification testing
Technical project management (planning, risks, reporting)

Expert in C/C++, rigorous with MISRA C, I am recognized for my ability to deliver reliable solutions on complex and constrained projects. Currently freelancing, I support companies on high-value missions: safety & security development, refactoring, architecture, work package management, or certification support.
